Difficulty eating conditions is a problem in providing food as an effort to meet nutritional intake in children

food and brushing off bites are symptoms of a child not having an appetite. One of the actions to overcome
children who do not have an appetite is by doing Tui Na Massage. Tui Na massage is a massage technique
to overcome eating difficulties in toddlers by improving blood circulation in the spleen and digestion. This
type of research is a Pre-Experimental Design with One Group Pretest-Postest Design, namely by comparing
1 group with 2 treatments, namely observing the frequency of appetite for toddlers before and after being
given Tui Na massage. The sample in this study were toddlers who met the inclusion criteria as many as 20
toddlers. The results of statistical tests obtained p-value of 0.000 so it can be concluded that Tui Na massage
is effective for overcoming the problem of difficult eating in toddlers. The frequency of eating in toddlers
increases after the Tui Na massage. Parents are expected to apply Tui Na massage once a day for 6
consecutive days on their toddlers to overcome appetite problems so that toddler growth and development
can be achieved optimally.
